Training


So Its been a couple of rollercoaster months at work.


ITV has plunged a lot of time money and skill bank investment into Daybreak, only for it to proove that when you change too many things at once, especially when the viewers are comfy with the program, that they just can't be won over......Mind you its not helped much by someone at the Daily Mail hating us !

However I have just had a really fullfilling week because I have been training Producers again, on the use of mini dv cameras to film short interviews, chats with the public ( voxpops ) and sequences to set up the background info on guests.

Its all very well running a whole live studio camera dept but its also great to take a bunch of nervous people in a room, all with completely different abilities and after a full day of training, theory and more importantly fun practice with a tv camera, having some very confident people at the end of the day ready to go out and try their best at producing some footage to make it on the air......
